What is hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy is any use of water for healing purposes. Hydrotherapy uses the buoyancy, warmth, and effects of the water's turbulence to speed recovery after surgeries, reduce pain and stress, spasm and discomfort. It is especially beneficial for people with work-related or sports injuries, arthritis, neck, back, or knee pain, hyperthermia and more.

How is hydrotherapy practiced?

Hydroptherapy is generally used by naturopathic physicians, physical therapists, or massage therapists in a clincial setting. This technique can include water-based exercise, icing sprains, hot or cold compresses, steambaths, soaking in a tub or whirlpool, colonic therapy, douches, enemas, swimming, saunas and so on.
